As everyone I know starts to gear up for Halloween (setting out decorations, preparing costumes and buying candy for the little trick or treaters) I would like everyone to understand that they should buy their costumes for more than one use.
I remember as a child we bought these cheap little plastic costumes and if I was lucky they would last through the two or three hours of trick or treating. Costumes are more expensive these days and thankfully more environmentally friendly. Last year we got costumes for the children and then after Halloween let them play with them outside or use them as pajamas. They love playing dress up even after Halloween.
During the year there other times even when costumes are appropriate. We just went to a pirate party at the Maine maritime Museum and the children were in costume and so was the staff. Renaissance fairs, conventions and some others that I can't think of off the top of my head.
My favorite place for costumes has to be conventions... or maybe I should say one specific convention with several others. The biggest convention I can think of that people where their costumes to is Comic-con. Ahh yes, a geek's paradise if there ever was one. Followed by other similar ones... Star Trek convention anyone?
Have Fun and Be Great
